Psychic TV
Heaven, London
WITH a countercultural musical and artistic repertoire that spans decades, an eye for the absurd in all that is normal and an ear for the banal in all that is strange, it’s no surprise that Heaven hosts the wonder that is Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Psychic TV.
It’s a return of sorts. Psychic TV previously played Heaven in 1986, an event recorded and released as one of a series of 23 live albums of a band that’s constantly changing. It’s a very different Gen on Heaven’s stage in 2018.
Having embarked on the “Pandrogyne” project aiming to fuse gender and identity with wife Lady Jaye Breyer, who sadly died in 2007, Gen now represents the continuation of that project and is welcomed with ecstatic cheers.
